| Description: | Select Guide Rating The all-time best-selling writer''s handbook turns thirty. With insight, humor, and practicality, Natalie Goldberg inspires writers and would-be writers to take the leap into writing skillfully and creatively. She offers suggestions, encouragement, and solid advice on many aspects of the writer''s craft: on writing from "first thoughts" (keep your hand moving, don''t cross out, just get it on paper), on listening (writing is ninety percent listening; the deeper you listen, the better you write), on using verbs (verbs provide the energy of the sentence), on overcoming doubts (doubt is torture; don''t listen to it)—even on choosing a restaurant in which to write. Goldberg sees writing as a practice that helps writers comprehend the value of their lives. The advice in her book, provided in short, easy-to-read chapters with titles that reflect the author''s witty approach ("Writing Is Not a McDonald''s Hamburger," "Man Eats Car," "Be an Animal"), will inspire anyone who writes—or who longs to. |
